Correct way to attach speaker wires... Wait, what!!!


Okay this is going to sound ridiculous but I've always wondered if I'm connecting the wires in the proper way to the binding posts. I just picked up a Red Dragon S500 power amp and I figured I finally should ask the question. It has the screw down type of posts. Here is a link to the pic on their website. The wires I have are Mapleshade Clearview Golden Helix which terminate in a stiff single 3/4" wire. Any help for a dumb question would be greatly appreciated!

I use Kimber 4TC bare wire I purchased as left-over for $50 which gave me 2 runs of approximately 5.5 feet.

No issues with corrosion as I clean somewhat once per season frequency 4...5 times per year.

Kimber is also great value wire and bare hookup is very smart.  What do you use for cleaner? 
vinegar works - but why not just protect the connection so you don't have to clean it??

this is really a very simple thing - not that the crazed anti-vaxers won't try to post lots of silly

food vinegar won't work. cleaner vinegar from home depot or similar retailers will. 

unterminated wires work very well as one reason and another reason that i can shift manual tranny better than any today's automatic tranny and, finally, each and everyone prefers to mustarbate one's own way.
